I Installed Gentoo and it runs perfectly. Next was xfce4 - it launches good too ( few errors about missing modules vesa and fbdev, but wile xfce is working I want to install rest of system and then catch up weird errors.. ) and I decided to install slim - I followed this http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xfce-config.xml. Now it boots up to login screen nicly, but when I enter user name and password it starts Xorg I guess, cos it's only black screen with white X for mouse cursor.. I'm not sure what info I have to provide, but will manage it, just ask.

And yes - when I use startx or startxfce4 then xfce4 loads in. help ;(

I had the same problem and the solution was indeed to add consolekit to the default runlevel.
It is said in the guide to do that:

Quote:

Note: If you have ConsoleKit installed, your ~/.xinitrc should instead contain exec startxfce4 --with-ck-launch. Otherwise, some of your applications may stop working. You'll also need to add consolekit to the default runlevel by running the following command as root: rc-update add consolekit default.

However it is in a section which I've skipped as I knew I didn't want to use startx but I went straight to the SLIM part of the guide.
It should probably be made more obvious in the guide that consolekit must be added to the default runlevel._________________nichocouk
